Correct. The f150 short bed single cab 4x4 tank is 24 gallons and it is short enough to fit. The problem is the fuel pickup assembly on the two tanks are not the same or the same size diameter. The f250 has a lock ring and a large hole the assembly sets into and the lock ring is tightened to hold it in place. The f150 has a plate with a gasket and screws that secure it down. I'm sure there are many many ways to go aboutit but I am drilling a 1/2" hole in the plate of the f150 fuel pump assembly installing a bulkhead fitting to attach the 1/2" fuel line going to the pump on the frame. Then I will connect an in line filter on the line going to the pump. The return line will just be spliced and connected to the other quick connect fitting on the top of the assembly. I hope that makes sense.
You're going to have to look up the ohms for the f250 unit, but the f150 is 8ohms empty 161 full. Just checked it. I have a pickup for the f250 but evidently it's bad, it showed numbers all over the place.
I'm about 45 minutes south east of Dallas. I would like to see yours too, although my build is in my yard, my driveway, my dining room floor, my other truck...I will be happy when it's all in one piece.

Well, I'm using a bulkhead fitting and putting two flare fittings on it. I came across a newer version of the fuel sender from an f250 and it has the "shower head" on it with a half inch fuel line. I'm using pieces from it, but if I can't get it to work I will just buy some half inch fuel line and make a straight line to the bottom. I looked at the sump setups but I didn't like cutting a hole in the bottom of the tank, and the bottom of the f150 tank that I got has a bowl that keeps the fuel from sloshing around that would also need to be removed of modified. Like I said though, there are a hundred ways to do everything.
That's cool, you get your sump installed?I understand man. I'm looking forward to seeing your truck done, and I can't wait for mine to be done too! Hopefully mine will be driveable by the end of this week!
The day we stop learning is the day we die, only idiots stop learning. Some people are better at these types of mods, but even those people weren't born with a wrench in hand, you just have to dive in and get your hands dirty. Wow, that reads like half a dozen fortune cookies glued together.
